Pinch-hitting in the 10th inning, Bob Watson came through with a run-scoring double to give the Astros a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Al Downing, who started for the Dodgers, pitched seven scoreless innings before giving way to Mike Marshall. The Astros then scored two runs in the eighth. Greg Gross doubled and Cesar Cedeno singled. Willie Crawford bobbled the ball, Gross scoring, and when the right fielder made a poor throw to third for a second error, Cedeno also crossed the plate. However, both runs became earned when Lee May followed with a double.
